This is a bug report for perl from [EMAIL PROTECTED],
generated with the help of perlbug 1.35 running under perl v5.8.6.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The construct
local %SIG = %SIG;
does *not* make an exact local copy of %SIG, as it should.
The program
perl -e 'print scalar keys %SIG,"\n"; local %SIG = %SIG; print scalar keys
%SIG, "\n"'
prints
49
0
instead of (something like)
49
49
as it should.
For comparison, another "magic" hash, %ENV, does not have the same problem.
perl -e 'print scalar keys %ENV,"\n"; local %ENV = %ENV; print scalar keys
%ENV, "\n"'
